Translation Status: done.
My comment: I translated this ages ago. It's about time I posted this. This is Kylin Zhang's character monologue for the series, Daomu Biji. It's an extremely popular series in China, and quite a few volumes have already been translated to English. Go buy the books to support Chinese stories and to read this amazing series. 8D

ReplyDeleteHehe. Yes! \ *u* /
DeleteThis is the covert BL novel that corrupted all its readers 8D including your truly
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, I still need to start reading this series. I will eventually!
DeleteThanks for your translations! The first time I heard about "Daomu Biji" it was on a list of the "50 most loving couples in chinese novels" (link: http://hui3r.wordpress.com/2013/08/30/top-50-most-loving-couples-in-chinese-novels-pictorials/)
DeleteIt was the only BL couple on the list (in the 8th position)so I was intrigued and I bought and read the 2 first volumes, I should receive the third one tomorrow. I know it's not really a BL novel but is there some hints of BL or is it fangirls who made up Quilin and Wuxie as a couple?
I found this article: http://tieba.baidu.com/p/1474085306
If I correctly understood (with Google translation!), it's about "doujinshis" of Daomu Biji which were confiscated by the police?
Sorry if my English is not very good (I'm French).
There's nothing explicit in the original work. It's mostly just fans who read between the lines and elaborated. In my opinion, there is definitely something special between Qilin and Wuxie. I can point to the specific parts of the original novel if you want. :)
DeleteSome even say the plot is more about Qilin than Wuxie. But it's contradicting to the amount of appearances and words spoken by and about Qilin... so theres only one plausible explanation. He is the romantic interest of the protagonist.
As for the tieba post, it's a fan ranting about this news article where reporters apparently found doujinshi with raunchy homosexual drawings for sale at schools' book stores... The fan is ranting because in the article they called the doujinshi "Daomu Biji" (the original's name). This gives the original work a bad name because homosexuality is taboo in China.
Thank you for your reply! Can't wait to read the next volumes of Daomu Biji and I will come back to you to share my opinion about Qilin and Wuxie! But I'm sure I will think like you because since I discovered yaoi and BL novels 2 years ago every deep friendship between males in books or drama turn into a romantic relationship to me! :$
DeleteYeaaah! XD like Sherlock *cough* I mean what? <_< I said no such thing...
DeleteOooh enjoy~ I won't spoil it for you then ;)
Gyyeeeaahh so awesome this monologue. And it's really not hard to jump to the bl when they make it thhhiiisss explicit
ReplyDeleteAnd can you tell me when/where in the books and which book this scene is BC I don't remember it (???!!?!??)
